The Finish Line

What happens off the track must stay between them...

What happens off the track must stay between them...

Lily Blackwood has spent three years proving she belongs in Formula 1. Now, as the first female driver at Rennen F1, she’s finally fighting for the championship — and nothing is going to stop her. Not the anonymous threats appearing in her hotel rooms, and certainly not Henri Dubois.

Henri has been waiting for his big win, but a crash leaves him battling crippling anxiety and sours his attitude. Things only worsen when Lily, who he shares a history with, runs laps around him.

But when both drivers discover they are keeping secrets from their teams, everything changes. Despite their differences, their real lives pull them closer than expected — even if Lily’s contract forbids it...

Can they protect each other in the cutthroat F1 world? And most of all: who will make it to the finish line first?

A steamy, grumpy x sunshine sporting romance, for fans of Hannah Grace and Leah Brunner.
